Ocean of happiness

 "  When spirits shine, Even foggy skies make pleasant light." People in our proximity..their mood and energy affects us. We may feel good, warm n energetic in some company but feel cold, blue n anxious around others. I was mesmerized by nature of one of my college friend. She remains positive, cheerful, bubbly and smile no matter what. I met her every year n in those years she had never let me known what she was going through...trouble -torture marriage, friction in relationships. One should not bottle up inside one's feelings. Showing emotions is not a sign of weakness. Rather being transparent brings closer to the one whom we are sharing with plus we feel lighter.  We human beings are full of emotions. Here also men are behind, emotions ruled my women alone, I wonder. Well, she tld me she slips into pessimism after her marriage. She thought to end her life one day. I asked her then, what stopped her. She said, the moment she thought to suicide, her son came near her n ...

  Assumptions are harmful We  meet  many people in our life. Some we admire & some admire us. I go to buy milk every morning and meet a poor lady who sometimes even come barefoot. But she always shares customary greetings with me and tells me she likes me as i come all the way walking and not on the vechile.  She used to give me hibiscus flowers as she has seen me plucking them somewhere.  One day I went to buy milk on my vechile.That day she asked me for a lift but I refused  as I was in a mad rush had to reach station plus my vechile run out of fuel. So I politely said 'No' to her and went away. I wanna help her but i hav to reach station. Sometimes it happens we want to help but we could not. Few days back when I returned I was dead sure she will not talk to me. But ,On the contrary she asked me how my trip was , with a smile on her face.I was quite overwhelmed by her polite gesture. And suddenly to my utmost surprise,  she gave me a handful of ...

  Some good deeds we might have done in our  past lives that in this birth we born as a Jain. Im lucky n blessed to be born in a religious jain family where every member whether my parents,uncles,aunts,bua,sisters,cousins all are endowed with religious Jain beliefs. So proud to be a Jain. It might be the year 1989 n one of the scariest serial I had seen in my childhood, aired on doordarshan. It was ' Kile ka Rahasya '. One episode was shown in a week. The terrifying dramatic music in the serial background chilled down my spine. Though I enjoyed everytime I watch it but deep down inside was fearful abt the outcome. Watching such a scary n thrill one , leads to troublesome sleep, unwanted thoughts n horrible dreams which had continued for many days. I complained n grumbled to my mother why these people made such horrifying serial and  hold them responsible for my anxiety.  I tried to palliate my nervousness.  My mother told me calmly whenever in ur life u face any...

 Umm..2020 had been a tough year for everyone and now 2021 too following the same track. How has our life changed! Washing hands frequently, masks-sanitizers become our primary priority, supermarket ques longer,roads look deserted due to lockdown.The street has become our stage and passers-by our players.  Never ever dreamt that our life could take such a drastic turn like this..schools, temples..everything got closed.We were allowed to step out for only groceries n medicines. A crises lik this brings out the best in everyone and worst in few. Everything is temporary   I prayed with my full heart for everyone who were going through this ordeal.  Even though the period was rough and occupied with multitude of tasks, I pursued my passion for craft. It plays a major role in overcoming stress and increasing happiness  During this phase, I learnt one thing, Always be thankful to God not only during happy times but also in worst. I remember how my sister whole family ...
